Explanation

The contract for security services at the Municipal Court Building located at 375 South High Street was recently re-bid in October, 2003, pursuant to Solicitation No. SA 000544. The reason for this re-bid was due to a contract cancellation on June 30, 2003, with Global Security and Investigations, Inc,. for non-compliance issues. Willo Security was awarded an interim contract from 07/01/03 through 01/31/04 based on an informal bid procedure, and passage of Ordinance No. 1576-2003. Six bids were submitted pursuant to Solicitation No. SA 000544, with the City of Columbus Purchasing Office, and Court Administration determining that all six bids were non-responsive for various reasons. Subsequently, in the best interest of the Municipal Court, this bid was officially cancelled. The two lowest bids of the six received were equally shared by Willo Security, Inc., and Global Security and Investigations, Inc. After extensive evaluation of both vendors, the Municipal Court has recommended that this bid be awarded to the interim contract vendor, Willo Security, Inc. Due to a delay in processing this piece of legislation, an interim agreement passed on 02/09/04, pursuant to Ordinance No. 0250-2004, which approved a sixty (60) extension for Willo Security, Inc., from 2/1/04 through 3/31/04 in the amount of $42,036.00.
